- An alarming set of statistics
11 percent of the general population. Of those that serve, and return home, statistics
that will alarm any concerned citizen are, often, unacknowledged.
A suicide rate that has been called, by some, epidemic has not kept this group from
dis-proportionate showings in both the homeless, and, the incarcerated populations.
Estimates indicate that approximately 25% of our incarcerated populations are
veterans. Additionally, according to the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans,
about 23% of our homeless population are veterans. The vast majority of these
displaced veterans served 3 years, or more, and have honorable discharges from
their respective branches of service.

Areas of exploration include:
- Collaboration is key
encouraging cooperation in one particular effort, or, another. With more than sixteen
years personal experience in dealing with these issues I have accumulated numerous
insights, tricks, and, truths that I hope can help you as much, or more, as they've
helped me.
By working together we can influence law-makers, help insure public safety, as well
as, help to facilitate protection and recovery for one of our most precious national
resources: young people willing to volunteer for military service.
